The Golden Loo is gone! I had read earlier that a sculptor had created a solid 18-karat gold toilet and it was installed in the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan and in 2017 "more than 100,000 people have waited patiently in line (in Manhattan it would be ON line) for the opportunity to commune with art and with nature." When it was installed it created an Instagram "splash". But it was recently on loan to the Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, as part of a larger exhibit. But, alas, it was stolen last week and being a working toilet, there was considerable flooding. If the perpetrator attempts to melt the "loo", this type gold is valued at $1500. per ounce and the robbers would be "flushed" with a few million euros or pounds. And that's no BULLion!
